So, NASA will soon reveal we are not alone in this galaxy. Who do we send forth to represent our species - our keenest politicians, our brightest linguists, our genius physicists or our most knowledgeable anthropologists? (I nominate a mullah, a beekeeper and a drunk Chinaman.)

This is stupid. They should depreciate liberal art courses by 0.5 instead.
>>8689659
Really? When does this kick in? I'm in Georgia and I'm in a STEM major. I'm a total dumbass but the average student is even dumber than me, at least at this school. I think GA tech has a lot of smart people tho
hello there /lit/ emigrate here, I want to get into computer science, any recommendations for this? any interesting books or lectures that would get me going on the path of /compsci/ ? I've had enough of liberal arts cuckery.

Not gonna make it.

How do we fix this? I was thinking we need some way to alter female brains with more male-style hormones. Perhaps while in womb.
What's there to fix?
>>8688509
Just genetically engineer men that have both vago and penor. """"problem"""" solved
>>8688509
A better solution is to alter male brains. Testosterone must be outlawed and feti must be castrated.
Hello. I have a cipher that needs to be solved. I have been sat for hours attempting to decode this but have not been able to.. maybe somebody on this board will be of some help. In the pastebin is a link to all the numbers, and yes the last character does seem to be a flipped 9. Maybe it's some kind of key?
>>8687648
The pastebin link with all of the numbers can be found here http://pastebin.com/rFFYHa71
>>8687648
What have you tried so far?
>>8687655
Getting the sum of each row/column, linking the numbers to letters in the alphabet A=0, Z=26 (but that doesn't work since the numbers are 0-9).
Latin Square (that doesn't work since numbers appear more than once).
I've really been working on the other ones more. I still have no idea what the final character is for.
Baby came back

So's your post.
Taking physics for the first time and this bugs me even though it's correct. Normally sin corresponds to the y-axis and cos corresponds to the x-axis. But why is it that in some cases it's the opposite like in pic related?
>>8685768
Because θ is oriented differently
>>8685773
Could you explain further? I get that it's oriented differently but I'm not finding it to be an intuitive reason.. Would it make sense to say that the direction the object is "falling" is the direction of the y-axis? At least I could feel at ease with that.
>>8685795
One angle is measured from the vertical and one is measured from the horizontal, so the components of each are flipped. Just look at the picture and remember soh cah toa. There's nothing intrinsically "vertical" about the function sin(x)

>Solid water = ice
>Gasious water = vapor
>liquid water = just water?
The word "water" to refer to liquid H2O is a misnomer because, technically, all the others are water, just not liquid.
Does liquid water have it's own name I don't know about?
>>8689798
>>Gasious water = vapor
no, it's steam. Vapor is just another word for gas.
>>8689798
>Does liquid water have it's own name I don't know about?
Yes. It's called spoom.
How does a vector table help us get the length of a a vector and the value of an angle theta. I understand the law of sines somewhat, like it tells us the ratio between the sin of each of these angles + the length of the opposite side is constant so sin a/A = sin b/B = sin c/C. Can someone check out this problem and tell me how to approach finding vector D?
>>8689735
Here's the vector table I made for it. I don't get how I obtain the length of the vector in question and the value of the angle theta from this information. I get the sum of the x and y components of the other vectors in the table are the x and y components of the vector in question, but where do I go from there. How does this help me find its length and theta?
>>8689735
Halp
Sum of all y components = 0
Sum of all x components = 0
Create a system of equations using this and solve for D and theta
Hello, Youth. I've been out in the desert doin' science. Didn't meet any women, though. Should have started in 2010 instead of 1990...
A little OC here from my posted lesson stuff.

I've always wanted to study extraterrestial organisms, but no space program seems to be serious about drilling inside Europa or Enceladus to try and find life in other worlds in the near future
I'm 18 but I feel like the opportunity to study the insides of moons like Europe and Enceladus will not happen in my lifetime
There's no life beyond earth, so you aren't missing anything.

The chance that Earth is the only place in the universe where life exists is unlikely
